hour, cover it thickly with pounded

half an hour longer. Boiled ham is al

silver Certificates a Blessing.

We remember well how some two years
ago our contemporaries ravcd and tumCi up
over the proposed issuing of silver Gel ttica-
tes by the Treasury. They called it the
most rascally il.deviscd and perilous fuan-
ciering! We think otherwise. The opinions
of the WILMINGToNIAN were otherwise and
were so recorded in these columns.
Special condemnation was made and rclet-
toric wasted over the proposition Of it susing
bills OF the lower denominations. The ter
riled economists would make a concession,
so they said as regards certificates Of $500
and upward, Bat anything less would be
tho financial ruin of the country.

The High School PRINCIPAL.


MIR. Graham, the principal of the high
school was done marked injustice last Mon
day night at the meeting of Board of Educa-
tion. And it is the easiest thing in tn eUorld
for the general public to fall in line with
these who have made the attack on Mr..
Graham, and almost unconsciously aud un-
Intentionally find themselves alrayed against
man condemned without hearing-to
whom bis judges have refused hearing,
There is a clique formed against Principa
Graham, formed of members of the Board o
Education and of school officials. This clique
has been engaged in a scandalous ATTEMPT
to overthrow him. Paltof that clique were
anxious to reinstate Mr.. Birdsall and another
section had somebody else in view for the
Prinoipalship-- however strongly inspired
with tho general policy anything to beat
Graham"
It is hardly likely that these statements
will be denied.
That trumped up list Of charges was the
most vampid and peurilc ever Formulate
against any public official and it is safe to
assert that gravGr charges could hypotheti,-
ated against any membea Of the Board of
Education.
Let us glance over some of thc3e charges.
The published report says:
cdr Grimshaw said that Mr.. Graham
was incompetent, and it could be proven.
1t should not be matter of sympathy. The
boys themselves say that they never studied
certain branches. OF geometry, they say
that they drew diagrams of the gcometrical
questions on the blackboard, and then read
the explanations from books. The visiting
committee of the High School bad made
report to the committee on teachers, as in
duty bound, giving the following reasons
why new teacher should be employed: Mr..
Graham's discipline was ineffective; the
boys studies were not thorough, that none
of the pupils had studied or understood
geometry; that he was not in accord with
the other teachers in the school, and they did
not work IN harmony"
The statement Of Mr.. Massey sufficiently
contiUverts the question of incompetency.
AS to discipline that question was not
looked into at all, and the mere heatsay of
certain parties opposed to Mr.. Graham is
entirely exparte and inconclusive. Upon
the question Of thoroughness it is well
known by teachers in the High School and
also by Superintendent Harlan that Mr..
Graham's policy has been one Of thorough
ness as opposed to tracing through the 'rth-
metic," or gabbling off so much reading.
1t was on this very point that a difference
arose between the principal and the last
mentioned school official out of which came
the petty charge of insubordination. AS to
what was said about card playing and smOk-
ing, as regards the latter no allegation has
been made at all, while in the former charge
it is so obscure SO far as MIR. Graham's op-
portunity to take cognizance of the matter
or act upon it that no just person would
think of embodying it in any formal charge.

How To Retain Health.

1t is impossible to lay down any rules for
health which may be followed safely by all
persons. Health depends largely upon the
diet. Some people cannot eat newly baked
brcad others cannot eat it wheu stale. Much
fresh meat with some constitutions induce !,
fulness of the head and a foverish state of
the syitem, becuuse it makes blood too fast
1t should therefore be aided, and a lit
tie salt meat or fish, if the appetite Graves it,
with fresh fruit and vegetables, will be
found probably to be just what the system
requ es. Iu truth, with health, as in many
other things, each person must be law uu-
to himself. In acute, or intricate cases, ply
sicans are necessary, but in many minor
matters they cannot decide. 1t is true that
what is Zone mans meat may be another S
poison, y and little poisoning now and theu
seems Indispensable to teach us our individ
ual physical as well as entail diosyucrases.
Experience thus gained, if not carried tc
such an excess as to prove too severe a school
master, will be of more value though lft
than all the doctors in Christendom- Will
all respect be it spoken-besides SAVING
many long bill at the drug store.

sUNsTROKE SYMPTOMS.
a ~ Louis Doctor Tells How 10 Sec III
Coming and 10 Dodge IL.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch
"The premonitory SYMPTOM vf overhead.
ing, miscalled sunstske," said DIR, Warren
Priest, the City Dispensary physician, this
afternoon, ''is the failure OF the porspiraton
to slow itself. The state of collapse COM
monty called sunstroke is not dependent up
on the direct rays of the sun coming into
contact with the body. There are cases Of
sunstroke in which the patient never secs
the light of the orb Of day. These you might
have heard Of, as m m in cellars and miners
hundreds of feet below the surface of the
earth and excluded from all light except that
thrown upon them from gas jet or from a
lamp. N )t to be technical, you might say
hat sunstroke or the overheated co-ditou
is caused by the pores of the skin becoming
closed up and the failure of the economy to
throw off, in the shape of perspirstion, its
exccs of heat. This is followed by the vessels
becoming eugorged the braiu filled With
blood and dizziness, which finally ends in
stupor. The normal temperature of the body
is 9Sl and this is overhead ID personssome-
times runs up as high as 104. The normal
pulse, you might say, is 70. In sunstroke
cases it goes up to 12O, 1870 and not iufre-
quently as rapid as 14O to the minute. The
pulse is very weak, the skin dry and totally
devbid of moisture, the extremities cold and
pale in exaggerated cases, while the head
and face are burning hot aud dry, sometime
red and purple, but sometimes pale. The
color is derendnut upon other conditions.
These is one thing which is very peculiar a
bove people who have been overheatsd, and
that is the preath. This is light rapid, the
respiration being very quick. The breath Of
thesunstruck has a very queer smell peculiar
to it, such as the smallpox smell, and other
analogous odors due to certain pathological
conditions. There is no danger from sun
stroke so long as the normal or Temperature
of the body is maintained. This, you see, is
accomplished by the excess of heat absorbed
from the surrounding atmosphere being
throw II off in sweat. When the pores become
closed this solar heat is locked up in the
body, all its channels of escape are cut off
and the condition resulting therefron is ner-
vous exhaustion, followed py stupor and
Inconsistencies. So long as one sweats he
is in nodanger from funstroke.
"The best way - avoid being sanstruck, +"
added the doctor, sis to keep cool. You
need hare no ferr' oYleas a. you, rerSr,re, as
I said before. When the skin becomes hot
aud dry and dizziness is felt, then look out.
You should Immediately get into a cold
bath, stay in the shade, do not exert or ex-
cite yourself and keep down your tcmpera-
ture. II you are accustomed to drink alco-
holic beverages do not quit all of sudden,
for you then weaken yourself. Only don't
drink but small quantity Of stimulan5s II
you don't drink, well, then, don't begin.
